If he called them 'gods,' to whom the word of God came — and Scripture cannot be set aside — Jesus grounds His argument in the inviolability of Scripture (he graphē ou dynatai lythēnai, Scripture cannot be broken), using this principle to defend His own claim. Scripture stands; those to whom God's word came were rightly called gods. The authority of Scripture validates the divine language applied to those who represent God, and by extension, validates Jesus' claim.
